00:00Meanwhile, I'm excited that even though there's a bit of nervousness
00:03among the Miss Grand Philippines candidates
00:04a few days before the coronation night.
00:07They'll get a taste of their energy on the pageant.
00:10First up, we have Lars Santiago.
00:17Putting their best foot forward,
00:20the candidates for Miss Grand Philippines
00:23because the grand coronation night will be held next week.
00:28In the media presentation,
00:30the contestants are already bringing their A-game to the swimsuit.
00:37Miss Grand Antipo, ladies and gentlemen!
00:40Miss Grand Robins of Quilinos!
00:44Even to the long gown.
00:49Because they don't have much time to prepare,
00:52they're excited,
00:54but they can't help but feel nervous.
00:58I would say it is a challenge
00:59and I'm feeling a little bit of a pressure and nervousness.
01:02You know, there's anxiety and that,
01:04but I think it's good that you are feeling all those.
01:06Aside from the pageant veterans,
01:09there are also first-timers.
01:11I'm very overwhelmed, but at the same time,
01:13I'm very excited for the opportunities
01:15that the Miss Grand organization will be giving to us.
01:18A candidate who is already 38 years old
01:22has a wife and two children.
01:27My eldest is already 12 years old as my son,
01:30and then my youngest is a girl and she is 9 years old.
01:33My kids are really very supportive ever since I've joined pageants.
01:36And the contestant's only goal this week...
01:41I'm aiming for the Miss Grand Philippines crown.
01:43I'm aiming for the Universal Woman.
01:45I'm aiming for Miss Grand title.
01:47Honestly, I'm aiming for Miss Grand then,
01:49but I'm not closing any doors for whatever.
01:52The destiny will be given to me.
01:54This is the first news.
